Hi- My name is Serenity and I am a law student working towards being a lawyer within the next few years! I enjoy working with infants, toddlers, and kids all the time. I’ve been working with/being in charge of youth since the age of 14 years old as I worked in a youth center for 3 years now. My responsibilities that have been held firmly would be tutoring, taking them to their own lessons or after school programs. I work as a household assistant as well as i cook, clean and able to teach the children. I have also been a great caregiver to the older generation as well such as my grandparents and helping out with going to doctors appointments, running errands and just being able to help out with what I can. I have no allergies so cats and dogs are very welcome for me!

Melody 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Riverside, IL

Hi families,I’m Melody! I’m a warm, calm, and patient childcare professional with over 5 years of experience working with children 6 weeks- 15 years old. I truly enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating a caring, nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable, confident, and free to be themselves. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Reggio, Waldorf, and Montessori-inspired teaching styles. I love bringing elements of these approaches into everyday activities, especially through art, creativity, and sensory play. I enjoy creating activities that allow children to explore, get curious, use their imagination, and learn through hands-on experiences. I’m CPR/AED and Anaphylaxis trained, and I’m also a non-smoker. The safety and well-being of the children I care for is always one of my top priorities. Outside of childcare, I love reading, yoga, cooking, going for walks, and visiting farmers markets on Sunday mornings. I enjoy a slower, intentional lifestyle and love sharing that sense of curiosity and appreciation for the little things with children. Most of all, I genuinely love working with children. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, discover new interests, and become more independent. I strive to be a dependable and nurturing presence for both the children and their families. I’m excited to get to know you more!

“Melody was wonderful. She took excellent care of my 10 week old baby. She knew exactly how to soothe him and read his cues. Seems to also genuinely like the job. Highly recommend! ”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
